About GiveMore Connections

At GiveMore Connections, our vision is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: everyone deserves access to meaningful support, connection, and hope for their mental health.

Founded in the summer of 2016 by Stephen Givens (“GIVE”) and Michael Moore (“MORE”), GiveMore Connections began with a clear realization—many individuals and families in the Mid-Ohio Valley were struggling to find the mental health resources they needed. While services existed, people often lacked the guidance, connections, or support systems necessary to access them.

From that realization, our mission evolved into building bridges.

GiveMore Connections works to connect people with the right resources, programs, and relationships that strengthen mental health and overall well-being. Through community collaboration and innovative programming, we focus our efforts on three populations that are vital to the strength of our region:

Veterans
Those who have served our country often face unique mental health challenges, including transition stress, trauma, and isolation. Our vision is to ensure that veterans in the Mid-Ohio Valley have accessible support systems, meaningful community connections, and pathways to healing and purpose.

Working Families
Families balancing careers, finances, parenting, and life stressors need strong support networks. Our programs aim to strengthen marriages, build communication skills, and provide counseling connections that help families grow stronger together and assist family with high deductibles to get the service they need for their loved ones.

Children and Youth
The future of our community depends on the emotional health of our young people. Through youth-focused initiatives that emphasize social skills development, emotional awareness, and healthy coping strategies, we help children build the confidence and resilience they need to thrive.

At its heart, GiveMore Connections exists to bring people together—linking individuals to resources, families to support, and communities to hope – one connection at a time.

And our journey is only beginning.

As we continue to grow programs and expand partnerships throughout the Mid-Ohio Valley, we invite others to join us—whether through collaboration, sharing ideas, volunteering, or supporting the mission financially. Together, we can create more connections, expand access to quality mental health resources, and build a healthier community for veterans, families, and children.
